Check this out, noting that the underbidder has an 85% rating with this seller:

The notorious “Clintonhater”?   Guess who.  I just told the seller to sue me, as I’ve been trading on ebay since Beanie Babies were their principal commerce.

Just discovered it; check my edit.

If it’s not obvious, the mounts have nothing to do with the scope, but I had a use for them.

When I view it shows the underbidder at 100%.

I don’t know how you can have 500+ bids with one single seller and not be a shill.

Sincerely,

Maverick

The conclusion to this phony sale:  no negative feedback from the seller, no long drawn-out confrontation with ebay as I’ve endured (& surmounted) before, the seller merely canceled the transaction after I accused him of engineering a shill bid; “like it never happened,” as the TV ad says.  Anybody who doubts shill bidding is an everyday occurrence on on-line auction sites has his head in the sand.
